I've had a look at the entry requirements for some universities and the good ones tend to ask for an A level in maths. I'm currently taking an A level in Use of Maths so I contacted some universities to ask if this would be accepted in place of A level maths and they said it wouldn't. There are some universities that accept it but I was wondering if it was worth taking maths A level as a private candidate alongside Use of Maths and my other 2 A levels to increase my chances?

Thanks!

if you want to study maths/computer science or anything related to that you should do alevel maths yes . Some of them prefer you to have further maths too so if you like maths consider doing it as well
